During World War II, London experienced the Blitz. It was a period when German planes dropped bombs on the city. The bombings lasted from September 1940 to May 1941 and brought about terrible destruction. To give the people of London a safe place to hide, the British government built tunnels that were 30 meters below ground. These tunnels were built between 1940 and 1942, and they are now known as the Kingsway Exchange Tunnels, or the London Tunnels.
在第二次世界大战期间，伦敦经历了大轰炸。那是一段德军飞机向这座城市投下炸弹的时期。轰炸从 1940 年九月持续到 1941 年五月，使城市千疮百孔。为了让伦敦市民有安全的避难场所，英国政府建造了位于地底三十公尺深的隧道。这些隧道建于 1940 年至 1942 年间，现在被称为金斯威交换隧道，或称伦敦隧道。
